There was nothing wrong with The Bloordale Pantry. The tables were comfy and it had a homey feel.
The staff was nice, and worked at a relaxed pace. I ordered the regular hamburger and it was well-proportioned (not scary big, more like a sandwich that happened to be a hamburger). The meat tasted really fresh, the bread was good and it was tasty. The coleslaw was pretty average. I thought the french fries were pretty okay but they certainly seemed fresh and some of my dining mates thought they to be tasty.
I left my water bottle inside the restaurant and our waitress ran down the street after me.
Overall super nice people, good food. If they had more soups and non-breakfast specials it would have been a home run for me.
